Every dog owner should have this book.......2002-08-11

"First Aid for Dogs" was one of three similar books I bought and is clearly the best, by a head and shoulders margin. It has almost 200 pages of information about a variety of conditions that can occur at home, in the neighborhood, or in the field. It makes very clear what to look for (symptoms) and then gives a helpful "decision tree" (if this is present, then do or look for ---; if that is not present, then look for or do ---). It is also very clear about what options you have in contacting a vet: Now! Same day. Within 24 hrs. Soon. Phone for advice.

It very clearly tells how to check symptoms. It covers almost every imaginable condition a dog owner would usually encounter. In the money it will save in trips to the vet that weren't needed, using this book will save its cost many times over.

The book is very well organized into sections, Part 1, What to do first, how to make splints, etc,; Part 2, What to do next, checking symptoms, what to observe; Part 3, First aid for various emergencies; Part 4, improving health, how to give/apply meds. The line drawing illustrations are simple, clear, and helpful. The index is comprehensive and useful.

By comparison, one of the other books I bought (published by a university press and written by vet school faculty), is higher priced, has about one fourth the pages, and contains much less than a twentieth the information. "Always have injuries examined by a veterinarian" is neither sufficient or particularly helpful advice. For poisoning, it recommends "veterinary advice should be sought."

The third first aid book I bought was for outdoor dogs (I have a Lab). It has a little less than half the pages that Fogle's book contains. The topics it covers are adequately treated but I've found nothing covered that is not also in Fogle's book.

Literally, a life saver........2002-08-02

When my wife, Amy, and I bought Sparky, our pet pekinese, we picked up this book, though we hoped to never need it. It was so clearly written and easy to use that the entire family read it. When our oldest son, Ryan, used it to save Sparky from choking on peanut butter, we realized just how valuable the advice in this book is. Thank you, Bruce and Amanda, for saving our dog's life.

This book is wonderful!.......1999-07-03

Very Useful.......2005-06-17

This was a very useful book and I keep it inside a hunting back pack at all times. This book is definitely worth adding to your canine related library. Along with a quality first aid kit!

For the camping, hiking, traveling, hunting, outdoor dog!.......2000-09-06

Being a nurse, I take the proverbial "be prepared" to extremes, but when you are camping hundreds of miles away from the nearest emergency health care facility, you must be educated to handle most emergencies of your family members.

Well, DON"T FORGET THE DOG

We just adopted a wonderful black labrador, and being a busy outdoor kind of family I needed a concise, handy, well rounded emergency care manual for my little boy, Abbott. I researched and decided on this pocket field guide that is perfect for carrying on your outdoor excursions. I am pleased with the content and find the directions easy to follow, even for a lay person uneducated in medicine.

Hopefully, my dog will never need emergent care, but I feel better knowing and gathering the knowledge needed to be there for him if the need becomes reality. Buy this book and put together a first aid kit for your dog. His life could depend on it.

The best, clearest, most useful first aid book out there........1999-08-31

I've reviewed many first aid books in my search. This is the clearest, most practical canine first aid book I've found. Most books read "take dog to nearest vet", this isn't always possible and this book covers what to do in those situations using clear text and precise pictures. Essential for anyone who takes their dog anywhere (even those dogs who just go to the park and back), but essential for dogs who go hiking, camping, travelling, kayaking, etc with their humans; anywhere you wouldn't be able to reach a vet within 20 minutes. Keep one in your car's glove box, the dog's backpack (along with a portable first aid kit), and one at home.

Great reference for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking!.......1999-04-03

This is excellent to have for emergencies and general knowledge of what to do when an injury occurs. Very usefull!

Good, informative book for beginners or basic info........1998-09-23

This book gives tidbits of information on a huge variety of subjects, but not in much detail. It reads well, and has good pidtures, the ones that are commonly used in current dog books, all the same few dogs. It goes in-depth about things most people would buy a subject-specific book for: breeding, whelping, choosing puppies. It is a good basic, general, all around book. Would be useful to have for reference purposes or easy access to pieces of information one would normally read chapters about. GOOD PURCHASE!!

Book Description

Whether you're hiking with your canine friend in a remote area or work with a dog on a search-and-rescue team or police force, you need to be prepared for emergencies when veterinary service is not available. Rescuing Rover: A First Aid and Disaster Guide for Dog Owners provides dog owners, handlers, and emergency physicians with an understandable guide for safe treatment until the dog can be transported to a veterinarian. Although a number of books describe some techniques for the emergency care of dogs, there is no single illustrated summary that is as practical. With its concise, easy-to-read instructions, detailed and beautifully rendered illustrations, and convenient format, this book covers such common medical procedures as bandaging an ear and constructing a makeshift muzzle. Written in consultation with canine handlers from FEMA, staff from the AAVDM and the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, it can also be used as a practical learning guide for veterinary medical and technical students.

Disappointing.......2002-08-11

I anticipated that a book published by Purdue Univ. and by vet school faculty would be useful. Perhaps some day I'll find it will be.

The illustrations are colorful and well done. But these are the topics covered -- HOW TO: restrain a dog, muzzle, examine the eye, bandage an upright ear, bandage a floppy ear, bandage a foot, bandage a lower leg, bandage a tail.

There is a brief section on medical emergencies. However, saying "Always have injuries examined by a veterinarian" is neither sufficient or particularly helpful advice. For poisoning, it recommends "veterinary advice should be sought" and also gives the National Animal Poison Control Center phone number.

I thought the section on the care of your dog in disasters (e.g., hurricanes, evacuations, etc.) was helpful. It also gives the name and numbers of various vet schools which specialize in particular conditions (skin, eye, nutrition, teeth, surgery, etc.) which could be helpful. As also was a section in which you can list the spoken and body language commands you use with your dog.

But I found Bruce Fogle's "First Aid for Dogs: what to do when emergencies happen" to be many magnitudes more useful and practical.

Easy to use reference for first aid and emergency planning.......1999-02-04

This is an excellent step-by-step first aid and disaster planning guide for your dog. The instructions are easy to follow, and are paired with full color drawings which beautifully illustrate each of the steps in a procedure. The technical artwork alone makes the book worth having. Though originating from the needs of Canine Search and Rescue Teams as noted in the Introduction, it is a practical guide for all dog owners who may need to provide medical assistance to their dog in an emergency situation or a disaster. It is not a replacement for qualified veterinary care, but rather a guide to preparing an injured dog so that it can be safely transported to a veterinarian without further harm. There are sections on the care of dogs in disasters, where to find speciality medical help, checklists for supplies and a first aid kit, and a place to record your dog's vital signs and obedience commands. The entire book is straight forward (what to do and how to do it) and VERY easy to read - you don't have to wade through pages of text to get to the points. I recommend this book for anyone whose dog may become injured under conditions where veterinary services are not readily available, and for all responsible pet owners who are preparing themselves and their families to be prepared should a disaster strike their home or their community.
